Detailed Explanation of Quality Positioning Methods for Suckling Pig Feed
Different pig breeds have somewhat different nutritional requirements. However, the common quality requirements are: good palatability, high digestibility, stable raw materials, stable production and processing; comprehensive and balanced nutrition, especially amino acid and vitamin nutrition should exceed the requirements for optimal growth and reach the requirements for optimal immunity, with strict control of aflatoxin and vomitoxin, so as to produce the best disease resistance and achieve the greatest growth potential.
Suckling piglet feed, commonly known as "creep feed", has its main functions positioned as early feed attraction, exercising the gastrointestinal tract, supplementing the insufficient maternal milk nutrition after 3 weeks, being easy to digest, and preventing diarrhea. The main nutrient concentrations are: digestible energy 3400 kcal, crude protein 20%, lysine 1.45%, digestible lysine 1.3%, with balanced sulfur-containing amino acids, threonine, and tryptophan. The key raw material structure and processing points are: grade-one "floury" corn, impurity removal, extrusion, grinding fineness passing through a 20-mesh standard sample sieve, dairy products above 15%, imported fish meal about 8%, use of extruded soybeans (protein solubility 70%-75%), soy protein concentrate, reducing soybean meal; secondary low-temperature pelleting to avoid loss of heat-sensitive substances, with a starch gelatinization degree of the feed product above 80%.
Weaned piglet feed, commonly known as "nursery feed", has its main functions positioned as being easy to digest, preventing diarrhea, and promoting the piglet's transition from consuming maternal milk to a corn-soybean meal type feed. The main nutrient concentrations are: digestible energy 3400 kcal, crude protein 18%, lysine 12%, digestible lysine 1.1%, with balanced sulfur-containing amino acids, threonine, and tryptophan. The key raw material structure and processing points are: grade-one "floury" corn, impurity removal, extrusion, grinding fineness passing through a 20-mesh standard sample sieve, dairy products 5%-8%, imported fish meal about 5%, use of extruded soybeans (protein solubility 70%-75%), soy protein concentrate, reducing soybean meal; secondary low-temperature pelleting to avoid loss of heat-sensitive substances, with a starch gelatinization degree of the feed product above 80%.
